Restaurants at the Meliá Coral

Dining in Umag is quite the culinary experience. Istria is a unique land, offering flavours distinct to this region of Croatia. Umag's seafront location allows the restaurants to serve the finest of both sea and land. Obviously seafood such as fish, prawns, squid and shellfish are abundant and the freshest can be found here.

Local tastes are also very popular and plentiful, and no trip to Istria would be complete without sampling the appetizing fare. It is well-documented that truffles are regarded as a delicacy around the world. Istria's land is perfect for truffle growing and they are very common in meals, especially with pasta and beef dishes. Istrian ham, or prosciutto, is a local delicacy and often paired with cheese and homemade bread.

Seasonal vegetables such as asparagus and wild mushrooms add distinctive flavours to any meal. The fertile land of Istria coupled with its ideal climate provides ideal growing conditions for olives and grapes. So it is no surprise that the olive oil and wines of the region are known worldwide. Olive oil and wine producers fill the hills of Istria and are eager to share their products with you.

Meliá Coral's restaurants and bars feature all of these foods and an extensive wine list, as well as quick snacks and other beverages. The hotel has Taverna Mediteran, an a la carte restaurant; a buffet restaurant that offers show cooking; a snack bar on the beach; a tapas bar; a beach club and night club; and a lobby bar.
